Local Priorities Drug dealing/ drug use Message

I wanted to provide an update regarding drug dealing / drug use, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

On 22nd December 2025, PCSO Hamish WILLIAMS-MURRAY, PCSO Tom JASZEWSKI and PCSO colleagues from Camden Sq, seized cannabis from an individual who was found smoking cannabis in Primrose Hill. The individual was also issued an Anti Social Behaviour warning for the alarm and distress caused in the local area of Primrose Hill, near Chalcot road, this was because the individual was loitering and smoking cannabis and being inconsiderate. The individual then immediately left the area, and caused to no further ASB.
